After reading several of their game threads posted there over the years, I would have to say that you couldn't be further from the truth. Yes they will ban you if you trash the coaches or players like constantly say they need to be fired or kicked from the teams - at times when the coach or player does something really really stupid/embarrassing to the program, they back off and let the posters have a bit of lee-way...

But saying things like "we suck", etc. hardly falls out of the realm of being "critical" of the team's play as you call it above, and I see posters over there constantly posting things like that during games that USC wins decisively, and they aren't banned. Seen the same things for basketball and baseball season too: They actually were talking a lot about firing Ray Tanner early in the 2010 season, or after the 2010 SEC tourny, and most of them were still around to proclaim how great the team was after winning the 2010 CWS....


I would have to categorize your above comment as "Fail"....

Whatever. The sensitivity over there is on another level. Your post count says a lot.

I don't give the first damn what you categorize it as. The way the mods run that board is a joke. It is ultra-sensitive.

Don't see anything surprising about that...you see homers in every team-specific fansite for every single team, including a ton of them here on this site. Here's a thread for you:

http://www.volnation.com/forum/tennessee-vols-football/200621-ok-one-last-time-before-season.html

It's a poll thread started just before the season started. 69 posters voted that UT would win 8 or more games this season. In order to do that, the Vols will now need to go at least 5-1 the rest of the way, beating all but one of USC, Bama, Mizzou, and AU in addition to Vandy and UK. While definitely doubtful, USC is averaging 35 ppg thus far, and UT's defense has struggled..

I really wish there was a dislike button.

i'm doing my best to keep things in perspective over there... some guy thinks they'll beat us 48-17... and that's with them give up a late garbage TD...

Don't let it hit ya too hard. Folks on here were saying we were going to hang 30+ on Oregons weak defense and beat them by a TD or two. :eek:lol:

Gotta love that fighting spirit tho!

You ever check to see how many members this site has?
What kind of percentage is that?

They think they will run inside on us all day.

"Mike is an off tackle runner, with speed. Not a speed runner that takes it off tackle.

Davis is a bowling ball, and the line backers of UT will get there fill of that come saturday"

The USCe poster that led is quoting is typical of many SC educated, specifically, they do not understand the difference between "there", "their" and "they're".

Ironic because the linebackers of UT getting "there" (to the hole) is specifically what I THINK will happen. I predict that we play very well against the run and might only lose because Shaw has a crazy-a$$ 300 yard game.

Regardless, I could not let an opportunity pass to make fun of the Gas-Pumpers from USC and their grammar/spelling.

The fans on other message boards are looking at the last 7-8 years and seeing only 2 SEC wins in last 2 years. Someone on the outside looking in would naturally see the Vols as a tune up game and not give much respect to UT. The Vols must upset one of the favored SEC teams to even get a smidgen of respect at this point in time.

I guess those fans missed the GA game. :question:

What kind of an argument is this? I was responding to a poster that stated that he found one guy on Cockytalk. ONE guy. I pointed to 69 here. My point was that you can find at least ONE guy like that everywhere........


But if you can keep up, it's ONE guy from a membership of 24,700 members at Cockytalk (0.00004%) versus 69 from a membership of a little over twice that much (57,400) here (0.001%)...

:shaking2:

I was banned from there a couple years ago for quoting a guy that made a derogatory statement to me. I guess when you been the whippin boy for a century & finally reach mediocrity you don't wanna hear anything truthful.

I can guarantee you that only the most delusional of Gamecock fans are viewing the UT game as a "tune-up" game. They certainly did not expect USC to put up 52 pts on Arkansas, and if USC played Arky 9 more times this season they wouldn't expect it in any of them except perhaps the last game and that would only be because in the previous 9 games USC averaged 52+ ppg against them...

But Gamecocks fans are excited about their team's offense, while UT's own defense has struggled. Meanwhile, while USC's defense has struggled it hasn't struggled as much as UT's has, and their effort versus Arkansas last week has given some hope. And UT's own offense has not played as well as USC's offense has...

So they are just adding it all up on paper. That often-times means very little ultimately....

Only took you an hour and a half to figure that math problem out.
Impressive.

Say what? When the kid puts his nose into it he's an absolute beast. Not to mention that he's been doubled & oft times tripled the entire season. His heart may not be entirely with the Cock's this season but he's certainly not a waste.

Well, lets just hope Tiny and J'wuan make him waste.:clapping:

To play devil's advocate for the guy who thought Neal was a freshmen:

If Im remembering right, Neal was out last year injured after the MSU game. In 2011 we primarily used Poole and Lane, so this actually might be the first USCe has seen of Neal
